A member asked:
Is it possible to have enlarged lymph nodes with hoshimotos hyper thyroidism ? and why they need a biopsy ?

Yes: Anybody can have nodes. Your physician wants to biopsy them because hashimoto's puts you at extra risk for malignant lymphoma, and even if the nodes aren't that worrisome, he wants to cover himself and you.

They want to make : Sure you don't have a malignancy- cancer whether related to hashimoto's disease or not.

Common: Seeing mildly enlarged lymph nodes in the neck is very common with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We usually do not biopsy these lymph nodes unless there is something suspicious about them (large size, abnormal blood flow within the lymph node). Are they looking to biopsy a lymph node or a thyroid nodule?
